The Emancipation of Prince

Are you dog lovers? Maybe not, but many are, right? And some breeds become instantly (and inexplicably) popular for some reason.

Chiuauas are one of those. Irritable as they may seem, possessive or skittish, this particular chiuaua protagonist of the story, is learned and highly intelligent. Unfortunately for him, his owner is not so, and that's why he'll try to get rid of her.

Feel free to watch the short film (again) and acquire some formal vocabulary completing the gapped trasncript.

For some extra work, there's a worksheet about pets by LinguaHouse that you can complete: Keeping pets. It includes a lexis task, an article and its correspondent comprehension exercise. Enjoy!

Boosting your confidence

You know confidence is vital... not only for your exams, but also in your daily life. But how can you work on it? In this post you can do some research on that topic, re-watching the video from TED talks (amazing site to learn, by the way), and diving further into the materials I'll share with you here.

Do some more reading (remember you can use Lingro when reading websites):

• Building confidence and self-esteem.
• Sowing failure, reaping success: what failure can teach.

Practice with a different video at TED Ed website:

• Overcoming obstacles. You'll need to create an account to take the activities, but I feel it's worth the while. If you don't feel like it, you can just watch the video on YouTube.

And finally you can test your mindset.
